Publisher's summary

My husband was not a monster. No matter what they say....

The day my husband, Michael, stepped in front of a lorry after being questioned by the police, my world fell apart. He was devoted to me and our six-year-old daughter. But they’d connected him to the disappearance of a young mother from our tiny village.

Now I stand at Michael’s funeral, clutching my little girl’s hand, with tears in my eyes as I insist to all our friends that he died an innocent man. Yet the questions have started, and nothing I say will stop them digging for the truth.

But none of them can read the secrets in my heart, or know about the phone I found hidden in his toolbox....

I’m determined that my daughter will not remember her father as a monster. I will erase any hint of wrongdoing in this house whatever the cost.

Because to keep my daughter safe, the last thing I need is for people to start looking at me....

A completely gripping psychological thriller from the author of the number one best seller The Marriage. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Widow.

I loved it

I felt like I had the story figured out but there was a good plot twist at the end. I also had some suspicions of what happened and who people really were and I was right but thought the story was great. It didn't feel too predictable

Thank you! A true gift.

This book is terrific - not just for what it is (a wonderful mystery drama), but for what it is NOT. Although a modern-day story, this author opted not to subject the reader to an unwanted and unneeded expose on anyone’s sexual activities. Blow-by-blow descriptions of sex seems like a cheap way to get attention. A truly good book does not need that.
There is also a welcomed lack of nasty language in this book and again I am grateful.
What remains is a solid storyline that held my attention through to the end. Well written and expertly delivered (amazing narration), I highly recommend this title!

Great story with a unexpected ending

the Window is an entertaining story line that I enjoyed. There were a few moments in the story that didn't seem connected (Kate is at Donna's house and then calls her on the phone). The voice production was excellent in representing characters and consistent vocals.

Excellent!!!

I love psychological thrillers and this is one of the best, ever. The twists are not as predictable and it will keep you wondering, “Just what is the truth!” This is the best KL Slater book, by far.
